Php File_Exists Behaving Strangely


Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

As noted elsewhere, I have just upgraded to PHP 5.5.3.

 

A script that previously ran perfectly now does not - specifically the file_exists function does not return the correct result.

 

Here's my code:

...
$newname = "../works_of_art/large/" . $savename;
clearstatcache();
if (!file_exists($newname))
{	// an image file with that name does not exist - OK
...
The $newname variable has the correct file name in it.

 

The function return indicates that the file exists when it does not!

 

Here's my environment:

. Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit

. Internet Explorer 10

. Firefox 22.0

. Dreamweaver CS5 as the text editor

. XAMPP for Windows 1.8.3 which comprises:

.. Apache 2.4.4

.. PHP 5.5.3

.. MySQL 5.6.11

.. phpMyAdmin 4.0.4

 

 

Any guidance will be much appreciated.

 

Thanks, Necuima
